“We were [negotiating a deal], but the UFC bought them out and they never said anything to me about it. … I was talking to a couple other federations but I really had my heart set on Strikeforce. I thought we had a deal. … It didn’t break down until they sold out. I just had no idea. Nobody ever said anything to me. Scott Coker never said anything. We had a deal on the table, we were trying to fix a few things and the next thing I know they got bought out.”
